FPW Battle of Gravelotte-St Privat

[Leman]

Can't believe how long ago that was. Planning my first battles in my new home now, with 10mm SYW happening first followed by FPW. Got my FPW out of the box yesterday for the first time since arriving here. Seeing these photos again is spurring me on.

Smashing photos Henry, good to see the youthful Brentnall in all his glory, hopefully see you all next year, hopefully.

The body is over a stone lighter these days, and the hair three shades whiter! How about you?

I remember this post coming out, but was it really 10 years ago!! I was dodging rockets in Baghdad at the time

For those of you involved in this , would there ever be any plans to produce a book or other format about it or other FPW projects? I have in mind something along the lines of the two books on the 1866 war - which, Mollinary- you have mentioned to me before you co authored. I would certainly love to see something like that but can see it would be a big undertaking.

Great, indeed, to see the photos of such an outstanding game again (even though I didn't catch them the first time around - I was lucky enough to pick up on these a few years back after reading a Field of Battle AAR involving John DZ, Chas Grant and Angus Konstam on Gerry Henry's contoured table of Nachod*).  Also fascinating to see names who no longer participate in the forum and those who still do.

A bit late to the party, but two fantastic looking games of a period and conflict that I have grown to love. It makes we want to play Bloody Big Battles again and all of those wonderful scenarios in the books .
